Moving on then. I don’t expect the pumas to be more than a speed bump on the way to the title this weekend. If they win I will stick a pineapple up my butt

I don't think I've ever wanted a specific result of a rugby game that I have no investment in ever before.

But your butt is safe IMO.

I was hoping for a bok revenge match. A cold clinical dismantling of the RGs. But now I think I want a repeat of last weekend with the result reversed.

@W32 sweating every knock on and defensive lapse. His buddies wondering why he keeps looking over at the fruit bowl. Everyone a little embarrassed as he weeps joyfully when Pollard slots the last second penalty. The strangely erotic way he takes a knife to that damn pineapple right on the final whistle. My god… is he? He can’t be… he bloody well is [censored] the smile right off that smug pineapple’s face.

I’m going with obliteration.

[W32]

Very good to see manie getting another go. This is a much better way - to start him and bring South Africa’s most valuable player (Handre) on to finish up.

Willemse play 10 for the Stormers Saturday. Can't bet on the Boks and Stormers on the weekend.

@W32 very wise. Can’t imagine facing that pineapple sober

Won't need to worry about facing it.

Strategy for this game: Don't kick, bludgeon up the middle, scrum them to death.

Argentina make 7 changes to Springbok slayers with enforcer ruled out

Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi has made seven changes to the team that triumphed over South Africa last week...

15 Santiago Carreras, 14 Rodrigo Isgro, 13 Matais Moroni, 12 Santiago Chocobares, 11 Mateo Carreras, 10 Tomas Albornoz, 9 Gonzalo Garcia, 8 Joaquin Oviedo, 7 Santiago Grondona, 6 Juan Martín Gonzalez, 5 Tomás Lavanini, 4 Pedro Rubiolo, 3 Joel Sclavi, 2 Julian Montoya, 1 Thomas Gallo

Reserves: 16 Ignacio Ruiz, 17 Ignacio Calles, 18 Pedro Delgado, 19 Franco Molina, 20 Pablo Matera, 21 Lautaro Bazan Velez, 22 Lucio Cinti, 23 Juan Cruz Mallia

[W32]

7 changes is a lot for a winning team to make. Is Contepomi blooding new players because he knows the championship is lost, or is this an actual plan with a strategy to win? I don't really know a lot of these players.

Sure it's test rugby, but nobody wants to have that pineapple on their conscience.

that's a strange euphemism for hairy back passage.

Record caps coming up for the legend that is Eben

Are you allowed to jump over the ruck like that? Brilliant attempt by Argie 10 anyway.

Boks leading 14-7. A good game so far.

Fark me Argie in support just building phases. Not afraid to take them on. Nice heads up play to score that try

I find it really hard to agree when there is so much blocking by opposition offside players.
